Default racing games

Has anyone played Grid yet? My son got it for his 360 a few days ago and he likes it. I'm getting mine for the PC soon. Kinda like NFS pro street. I love the NFS series but I need a new racing game. I whooped all the NFS games and then some. LOL, My son said he had to race Bryan Cooper in one race he did. Looks cool to me. Any thoughts?

its fun for the first few levels.....then it kinda just becomes the same old ****. every like 4 or 5 races u gotta do the lemans 24 hour race......its really just 24 minutes but it seems pointless and if you want you can even cancil it and just move back on to your career....its worth the extra money though. it kinda sux that u cant do vis mods to your car, and every one of your cars has the exact same lay out...like with paint and stripes and ****. i got one BAD *** mustang but some ghey lookin gtr mustang (a real gtr mustang, the concept one). all and all its a fun game for a while, but i can only play so much of it. forza was by far the best racing game ive ever played.

Stick to that one, It's my favorite out of the last three. I haven't played Grid.

Yeah NFS MW is a great game. Took me a few months to finally beat it. But once I started over again I can whoop it in a week or 2.( thats playing a few hours at a time.) Can't get forza for PC. I only play PC racing games with my MoMo wheel. I love it.. The GT R games are pretty good too. Just gets boring after a while. You have to race a 24 hr/ min race on these games too in career mode.. You can actually do real time races but gaadam, I do have a life, and things to do.

Anyway I'm getting grid today, But I'm still working 7 days a week till further notice..

I still rock out NFS Underground every now and then. Grid looks really good though. I haven't played a good racing game in a while. Mostly because i don't find the time to do it. but I think i will be purchasing this game soon.

I got Grid for PC Friday. Spent all day trying to get my wheel to work right. Had to download the patch for the game. . I'm fcking still trying to get it calibrated right and it's very flustrating. So far I've wrecked every car I've driven, and came in last place on every race i've finished.. LOL, I can't seem to get my steering in that sweet spot most games have with no problem. I'm either to twitchy, or can't turn at all. This game does have a lot of issues, even with the patch which is supoosed to fix a laundry list of problems.. Beware if buying this for PC, It may take some time to get it to run optimally. Time I don't have. But the graphics are good and it will be fun once I figure out my wheel issues..

360, you must buy Forza 2! Already beat it... then I got a PS3 and got GT5 Pro louge... the NFS series is terrible... its arcade driving were ppl bump off the rails to turn, it sucks... grid ok b/c the cars and customization but get a PS3 and get GT5 Prologue.
